Luxurious living in southwest Livermore, just north of East Bay wine country
The Oaks is an upscale, 1990s-era subdivision in the outskirts of Livermore, just north of the sprawling vineyards of East Bay wine country. Its Mediterranean-influenced homes sit on quiet streets and cul-de-sacs that are lined with lush green lawns and grand, leafy Oak trees. The neighborhood backs up to a small lake where people can be seen jogging and walking their dogs. “That little bit of a lake made a big difference. My wife and I could walk there from the house,” says Anthony Marinelli, a former Realtor and former resident of the neighborhood.
The Oaks has some truly breathtaking views of the surrounding vineyards and reservoirs.

Upscale Mediterranean homes on Oak-lined streets
The neighborhood features a range of spacious Mediterranean Revival homes built in the late 1990s and early 2000s. There were eight home models to choose from, with everything from small, one-story floorplans to expansive two-story homes. “It’s an upper-end development. The builder took some extra time on the architecture and engineering of these homes,” Marinelli says. A greenway twists and turns between houses, offering a walking and biking path for residents. There isn’t much through-traffic in the neighborhood either, and kids are often out riding their bikes and playing on sunny afternoons. Many homes have swimming pools in their backyards for those sizzling East Bay summers. Prices range from $2.4 million to $2.8 million, well above the city’s median home price.
The Oaks is full of beautiful 2 story mediterranean style homes.
